﻿Don is Cathy's husband and the father of 5 adult children, two of whomare adopted from Haiti. He is currently a physicist at the Universityof Alberta. Don witnessed moderate poverty while growing up in smallAlaskan villages without telephones, televisions, running water, orroads. However, this could not even begin to compare with the muchmore abject poverty seen during many visits to Haiti and one visiteach to India and South Africa.

Don believes that even when we sacrifice some of our own totalhappiness by giving so that the resources can increase the happinessof those in need even more, we should make that sacrifice. CHILD isone means by which we can definitely provide great improvement to thewell-being of people in need in Haiti, India, and South Africa.
